<pre>I got the annoying part out of the way first: I wanted to make sure that when I added a thread, that thread would not add to our thread footprint. So, I added an AutomaticThread abstraction that makes it easy to shut down a thread automatically if it's inactive. I validated the abstraction by switching all of JSC's threads over to it.
Now I can add the new GC thread without feeling guilty about it.</pre>
